This job entailed excavating material along the length of a bridge, covering approximately 200m.
Our instruction was to expose and support high pressure, cast iron gas and water pipes to allow the base to be re-coated with resin and to improve the water drainage system.
Only small sections were removed at any one time to allow the work to be completed, it was then back filled with type1. The excavator was then moved further along the bridge to continue excavating and exposing the pipes.
Force One Ltd were called in to hire the Vac Truck service after this job had commenced. The company had originally only used a road sweeper suction system that proved to be time consuming due to it constantly blocking.
The impressive power and versatility of the Vacuum / Suction Excavator once again proved to be the way forward – in no less that two hours, the 26t excavator removed the equivalent amount of material as did the road suction sweeper system in a whole day.
Having achieved these results, the client assured Force One Ltd that they would be using our Vac Truck service on future projects, should the requirements for a Vacuum / Suction Excavator arise.
Here is a selection of photo's that were taken whilst
the Vacuum / Suction Excavator was at work on the Bridge Refurbishment.
